Nonito was totally in control from the start to finish of the fight while Nishioka did not engage much nor establish anything big.
The 29-year-old Donaire floored Nishioka in the 6th round with a left uppercut and his right straight to Nishioka’s jaw totally recked the Japanese's dream of winning his 17th straight win in 8 years.
The fight was deemed lackluster and didn't provide a lot of excitement which can be blamed to Nishioka's reluctance to fight head to head. Donaire is a counter-puncher and his ring partner did not gave what he wanted to elevate the fight to a more defining level.
Nonito Donaire's record improved to 30-1-0, 19 KOs while Nishioka faced his 1st loss after 16 consecutive wins to bring his record to 39-5-3, 24 KOs.
